The process is specific to the municipality you are in, from what I have read Seattle is not landlord friendly so if it were me I would hire an attorney who was experienced in the process.In Virginia the process is simple enough to do it yourself - and I have a few times.

I have a feeling this is where you are at.Sometimes the Alderman's office or community group will want to see what you are "proposing" to build before you can get their support and actually get the Zoning Change approved; however, technically architectural drawings are not reuired (by the Zoning Board of Appeals) for the map amendment process.Feel free to contact me directly if you would like me to look into your specific property in more detail. 

It looks like BP may be categorizing the "New Members" email as a "general marketing email".In our notification settings link, they don't have a specific option for this type of email unfortunately. 

Pick one that is commenting on your specific situation and DM them.

Yea, I'm talking specifically about Google since that's where the big bucks seem to be spent. 

It specifically says that they (the seller) will pay all of the costs of the 1031. 

It seems like you are speaking about a specific market, so are there any companies currently for sale? 

What advice would you give to someone just starting out, specifically within Maricopa County?

Louisville has many 10s, 9s, and 8s.The entire state has very low crime.Here are resources that'll help too: usa.com, usa.com/rank/, city-data.com, https://www.zillow.com/research/data/You can also go on to zillow and check under the for rent section and check individual properties for how long they have been on the zillow market.From scrubbing the internet for all this data to find vacancy rates, I'd have to say Louisville has low a vacancy rate, which is good, yet how much so depends on the specific neighborhood.

Either way, the answer is that it is only beneficial under very specific circumstances.
